Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for frequency tuning of the frequency-modulated sound carriers of multi-tone transmission standards in a television receiver suitable for TV satellite reception using a digital sound channel processing device with a quadrature mixer, a channel filter, a demodulator, a sound stage and a central control device, which by means of a the frequency programmable digital generator tunes the quadrature mixer, cf. the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention characterized in the claims, which essentially consists in the fact that the use of a search method for the unknown sound carriers means that knowledge of their position within the sound IF range can be dispensed with.
- the FM demodulator is switched to AM demodulation and the pass band bandwidth of the FM channel filter is narrowed to such an extent that the FM center frequency can be detected via an amplitude evaluation.
- the determination of the mean amplitude density serves as a criterion, e.g. via an average effective value measurement, in each search step.
- the relative maximum is determined from the comparison of the mean amplitude density of adjacent search intervals and the associated search interval forms the sought FM center frequency.
- a step size of, for example, 10 kHz has proven to be expedient. It should be noted here that with FM modulation the carrier amplitude remains constant and that an FM center frequency determination is only possible via a frequency-related amplitude density measurement.
- the existing sound channel processing circuit is a digital circuit that processes data, because then the frequency and behavior of the filters and sound stages can be controlled by changing the supplied coefficients.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically the example of a complete satellite television channel in baseband with the video part up to about 5 MHz and the audio IF range above it up to about 9 MHz.
- the main carrier h Immediately following the video frequency range is the main carrier h at 6.5 MHz, which is generally larger in amplitude than the other sound carriers and generally contains a mono signal.
- the sound carriers above are referred to as subcarriers u and contain either the stereo signal part or different languages.
- the individual subcarriers u are spaced apart by 180 kHz.
- Fig. 2 shows the block diagram of a circuit arrangement for performing the search method.
- the block diagram only contains circuit parts that originate from the existing audio signal processing or that previously served other functions.
- the input signal si is an analog signal which comprises at least the entire audio signal range, which in the assumed example of FIG. 1 ranges from approximately 5.5 MHz to 9.2 MHz.
- the analog signal si is digitized using an analog-digital converter ad and a system clock cl and fed to the input of a quadrature mixer m. This is designed as a double mixer because two FM sound carriers usually have to be demodulated for stereo playback.
- the double mixer m is therefore fed from two digital generators g1, g2, each of which a pair of beat signals s, c; s', c control device st is set via a first and second data word f1, f2.
- a periodically overflowing accumulator which adds the respective data word f1, f2 to its previous content with each system clock cl and controls a read-only memory table with a number of most significant digits of the accumulator content, which correspond to the current phase value between 0 degrees and 360 degrees reads out the associated sine values s and cosine values c of the beat signal pair and feeds them to the data inputs of the quadrature mixer.
- the middle period of the overflowing accumulator corresponds exactly to the desired beat frequency.
- the double quadrature mixer m supplies two quadrature signal pairs to a double-channel filter F 'as output signals, with only the channel filter F which is coupled to the first digital generator g1 being of interest for further consideration of the search method.
- the bandwidth of this channel filter F which lies between 130 kHz and 380 kHz during normal FM operation, is switched over by the central control device st during the search via corresponding search coefficients Ks to a bandwidth between 20 kHz and 50 kHz.
- the switchability of this channel filter F to different bandwidths is already predetermined by the existing audio channel processing device T, the bandwidth being adapted to different operating conditions via different operating coefficients Kt, depending on whether a main or a subcarrier h, u has to be filtered out.
- the output signal of this channel filter F is a quadrature signal pair consisting of an in-phase signal i and a quadrature phase signal q.
- these two signals i, q are shown schematically in a Cartesian coordinate system x, y.
- the present demodulator D makes use of this method in the sound channel processing circuit T.
- the demodulator D contains a phase converter P, which forms the phase angle p from the in-phase signal i and the quadrature phase signal q and additionally outputs the amount b of the resulting signal R - this corresponds to an FM and AM demodulation apart from the differentiation.
- phase converters P generally use iteration methods to determine the phase and the amount, the best known method being the "Cordic method”.
- Other phase converters P use stored table values or use a simplified series development.
- the phase angle p in FM demodulation feeds a differentiator Di, the output of which is connected to the input FM of an electronic switch sw.
- the electronic switch sw is switched so that its input AM is fed directly with the amount b.
- the tone stage t is connected to the adaptive deemphasis and further filter devices, which are controlled by the central control device st via tone step coefficients Kc.
- the digital output signal of the sound stage t is then converted back via a digital-to-analog converter and one Speaker group l supplied.
- the tone level t is of course muted during the search process.
- a level filter PF which is fed with the amplitude values of the tone stage, it is possible to determine an average amplitude level of the demodulated audio signal, with a low filter time constant of approx. 15 Hz (or 1 Hz to 300 Hz).
- an extreme value detector ex determines the relative amplitude maximum from neighboring measuring intervals. If there are several relative maxima, then an evaluation device w determines, by means of the associated frequency of the superimposed signal pair s, c and by means of the absolute amplitude, which of the main carriers h and which are the subcarriers u and which operating coefficients Kt and which tone step coefficients Kc are to be set when the search is finished .
- the extreme value determination and the evaluation can be carried out using a simple sequence program as software in the central control device st. To determine the extreme value, only the differences between adjacent mean amplitudes and the reversal point of the sign have to be formed be determined. The reversal point defines the relative amplitude maximum.
- the fixed value table of the evaluation device w also contains data which are fed to an on-screen display processor DP which is usually used for teletext display or which enables high-resolution graphics on a screen bs via a pixel controller.
- the screen bs of the television receiver represents an extremely effective display device S, which can additionally be combined with a menu control.
- the individual commands are supplied to the television receiver via a remote control transmitter, which internally passes them on to the central control device st via an instruction bus.
- 6 shows a possible representation of the existing sound carriers as an example, namely as a bar diagram with the associated sound carrier center frequencies on the horizontal axis and with a numbering of the individual sound carriers above the associated bar.
- the main carrier with the code number 1 is clearly distinguished from the subcarriers 2 to 6.
- the lower display area prompts you to select a carrier code. If the selected carrier allows stereo operation, the next menu request could be: "Mono 1 - Stereo 2" etc.
- FIG. 4 schematically shows a first example of the method steps for implementation in a first flow chart the search for the invention.
- the flowchart begins with the search start trigger 1, which can be activated, for example, via the remote control device.
- the audio channel is muted, and in step 3 the search coefficients Ks for the channel filter F are set, whereby the bandwidth is reduced to the search value.
- the demodulator D is switched to AM demodulation. In the circuit configuration according to FIG. 2, only the electronic switch sw has to be switched to the switching position AM.
- step 5 the frequency of the beat signal pair s, c is increased by 10 kHz.
- the central control device st changes the value of the first data word f1 by an amount which corresponds to the desired search step.
- step 7 the decision must be made as to whether or not the mean effective signal amplitude represents a relative maximum. If it is not a relative maximum, the beat frequency is increased by a further step.
- the display device can be a control lamp or an alphanumeric display. It remains to be seen whether the found sound carrier is the desired sound carrier determined by the operating step 10 with which the audio reproduction of this sound carrier is activated. If this sound carrier is not desired, which is determined by "listening in”, then the search process for the next sound carrier is continued by triggering start step 1.
- step 11 the demodulator D is switched over to FM demodulation; and step 13 finally unmutes.
- Fig. 5 shows schematically as a functional diagram a second search method according to the invention, which enables greater ease of use.
- the same functional units are given the same reference numerals in FIGS. 4 and 5 and therefore do not need to be explained again in more detail.
- the search run is carried out from a starting frequency fo, which is approximately 5 MHz, without interruption over the entire carrier ranges up to approximately 9 MHz.
- a starting frequency fo which is approximately 5 MHz
- these carriers are displayed together with a menu control on the screen of the television receiver and the desired sound carriers are selected.
- the functional diagram of FIG. 5 begins with the known steps 1 to 4, which are then followed by the new step 4.1, with which the starting frequency fo is set.
- the search frequency f is increased by one frequency step in each measuring interval in step 5. This frequency increase will last continued until the check in step 5.1 shows that the maximum frequency fmax is reached at approximately 9 MHz.
- the display on the screen is supplemented in step 9.2 by a menu request, which enables a targeted selection from the schematically represented sound carriers.
- FIG. 6 An example of such a combined representation is shown in FIG. 6.
- the answer to the menu request takes place in step 10.1, for example by entering a code number for the sound carrier to be selected.
